Have you been tempted to try Juvéderm, the most popular hyaluronic acid facial filler in the U.S.—but were worried that the injections might be too uncomfortable? Relax—now there's Juvéderm XC, a new formulation that makes treatments quicker and more comfortable.

Juvéderm + lidocaine anesthetic = Juvéderm XC

“Juvéderm XC combines Juvéderm with lidocaine, a local anesthetic,” Dr. Parungao explains. “Because the numbing agent is built right in, there's no need for an extra set of needle sticks to administer anesthetic before a Juvéderm treatment.”

Another advantage of Juvéderm XC: “Treatments take just a few minutes because we don’t have to wait for the separate anesthetic to take effect,” says Dr. Parungao. “The lidocaine in Juvéderm XC works instantly. This will make it easier for you to come in for a quick treatment and get right back to your normal activities.”

Save on Juvéderm XC: $425 a syringe,
or $550 for 2

In conjunction with our Feb. 11 Big Winter Event, we're offering special pricing on Juvéderm XC. “Normally, Juvéderm XC would cost 10% more than the original Juvéderm, but we're including it in our February special to encourage you to try it,” says Dr. Parungao.

Buy one syringe of Juvéderm XC or the original Juvéderm formulation for just $425, or get two syringes for $550. This offer is valid through Feb. 28, 2010.

Patient compares Juvéderm XC
with original formula

Our patient, “Cindy,” had been declining anesthetic when she got her Juvéderm treatments. We asked her to try Juvéderm XC on one side of her face, and her usual Juvéderm treatment on the other. Here's what she had to say.

‘I like Juvéderm XC much better!’

“Juvéderm XC is much less painful,” says Cindy. “In the past, I didn't want any anesthetic because I figured it was easier not to get another set of shots—and I didn't want my face to be numb for a long time, like when you go to the dentist.

“We treated the area under my eyes, the ‘parentheses’ from my nose the corners of my mouth, and the ‘marionette lines’ from my mouth to my chin. Without anesthetic, I felt the needle stick, a burning sensation and the pressure of the filler going in.

“The Juvéderm XC treatment was much better,” says Cindy. “I felt just a slight needle stick and it was over very quickly. And my face didn't feel numb for very long. The new formula is really nice stuff! And we were done in 10 minutes.”

Yes. For 10 days before having a Juvéderm, Radiesse or Botox Cosmetic treatment, I recommend that you refrain from taking medications such as aspirin or ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) that thin the blood. If you are on any prescription blood thinners such as Coumadin (warfarin), you need to check with your primary care physician before stopping that medication.

Refraining from using blood-thinning medications will greatly reduce your chances of bruising after a facial injectable treatment.
